WPhone WM6 On Iphone

Hello, just for information purposes only, im currently working on porting WM6 to the iphone device, its proving tricky and is highly unusable, but i don't think its impossible at this stage of development, ive applied for a sourceforge page to show the project status and will keep you informed.
anyone willing to help please pm me. only serious developers though, thankyou
John
update
Will post sourceforge link as soon as its ironed out but until then...
http://www.wrightsbytes.com/home.php
its unfinished.

Sounds interessting,
Will it need a ROM Replacement or it is a Linux Loader like HaReT?

Without the possibility of using an stylus with the iPhone will prove very useless to have WinMo on it.

rom based
it will be rom based but use a bootloader command to initiate boot. keeping iphone os intact.... as for stylus,, wm6.1 was developed to help eliminate stylus (not only reason) but it helps. i will also develop a panel based system like the xperia x1 to allow ease of use.

wow how far are you? if this gets finished i will buy an iphone and run windows mobile on it.

Seeing this running would make me laugh so loud ! This could mean that the iPhone could get, one day, a real app store with the XDA community behind
How far are you in the Bootloader management ?

This will be interesting WM 6.1 or 6.5 running at iPhone, everyone wait for this. Problem is booting different os, because it's not same with htc devices.

Well, I do wish you the best of luck! And as far as the video, this actually has its own thread and it was deemed by the whole community (and possibly the world) to be fake, so please let's not bring up the subject anymore...

I've been a long-time user of the forum and I remember that back in the days OP had originated a much talked-about hoax with a WM5 for Magician. Keeping this in mind, methinks this thread is a huge load of BS, and OP is full of it. I'll shut up now, before I say something that I will regret later...
raptorz, good luck with that WM6 for iPhone...

fair point, but lets keep in mind the differnce between an excited mistake and a hoax... a very thin line but still a massive differnce so please save the slander as for the project im not stating what im making exists im saying im developing it and request help from others if you follow the links etc.. help is required. hardly possible to hoax a development with a community behind ur back. prehaps trust will be earnt.
thankyou

how is this project coming? the webpage looks the same as it was a week or 2 ago

Will Wndows mobile 6.5.3 come to the HD2?

I just saw a TG01 running winmo 6.5.3 at CES and it looked impressive. Small changes and nice onscreen push buttons at the bottom of each page for easy pressing.
I wonder if the HD2 will get it??

already has it. head over to the rom section, bro.

Dude you could have just searched instead of posting a new thread.

There's nothing in the OP about wanting an official version of 6.5.3. It just says 6.5.3. So, he's right. Searching will find it. If you do want an official version, you'll have to wait until it's released. You may still not get it then anyway. It will be down to your provider.

I hope not. If HTC are going to put any effort into a new version of WM then I hope it will be WM7 rather than 6.5.3

Where did the thread starter mention that he has a provider locked phone?
This thread is full of rudeness and irrational answers. A mod might as well lock it.

Disagree, my question about where the thread starter mentioned that he has a provider locked phone is relevant in the light of at least one irrelevant answer.
But thank you for your pointless comment.

Back OT - My bold prediction is that HTC won't bother with 6.5.3 but will issue more and more patches for current issues and then present something more advanced at a later stage, probably in the middle of the year.
I have absolutely no factual (or even fictional) basis for the above assertion but it seems entirely reasonable. I feel it in my gut.
Shoot me down if you wish but at least I'm OT.

Same as above, I don't think HTC is going to bother with 6.5.3 (or rather, I'd like them to pay to make actual proper drivers instead of OS updates); in any case, when/if an official release of Windows 6.5.3 is out you'll prolly be able to find it in the ROM section, xda being, you know, xda.
As for personal experience, 6.5.3 transformed my device into a trainwreck (a shiny trainwreck with huge buttons) with all relevant cooked roms as of 5 days ago, making me swiftly retreat to a cooked 6.5.0. Of course, it depends of what you do with it (if you want a device you can rely on and consider stable or not). Your mileage may vary.

[info] New HTC rom 1.66.* :)

Now I have your attention, well only some of you.
I hate to write this but its getting beyond a joke these days. Every "chef" out to make a $ by releasing their "customised" work of original HTC roms, you get some crazy satisfaction about your ROM's being on others devices. Those base ROM's should be freely available to ALL users, not locked away and not being released straight away to make sure you have the "edge". Sure you have contacts in HTC that give you the ROM's before anyone else, ****, who cares. It will get out one way or another, why not publicly post it for everyone to get access to it? You all know who you are and its pathetic, I'm sure most of you have real jobs out there and if you don't, jesus, get one.
Sure "chefs" might modify some DLL's to get "better" performance but even then, its not your IP, its HTC's/Microsoft etc etc.
At the end of the day, we're all a community who support each other, so why bite the hand that feeds you?

Without commenting on your remarks, I'd be more interested to hear from someone what is new in 1.66 and 2.06, how they relate to each other comment what the differences are.

Barty,
That's the thing, if it was public like it should be, everyone else would know. But it has mainly updated apps (Compass, Album, Camera etc etc), but still requires the SMS Fix.

I really don't think there's a need for such accusations and hostility. The last time this happened (over the whole Rhodium/Topaz leak fiasco) it ended with a lot of bad blood and several good chefs refusing to cook for the xda community anymore!
There are already several cooks working with the new 1.66 base. Have you personaly been denied access to the sources?
Please lets not see a repeat of last years silliness. It was not good for this great community.

I don't care who has it, and all this bad blood is pathetic, children crying over spilt milk.
And being denied to private information, no, but I don't care, I'm voicing my public opinion about it.
And if one goes, I'm sure 20 more will step up to the plate. They're more then welcome to go off and try and create another xda, good luck to them, many have tried and failed.

Sorry but I don't understand why you're so angry? Yes it's a community and I can see several major contributors to that very same community working with 1.66 right now, for our benefit.
Are you annoyed that the stock rom hasn't been posted for all and sundry yet?

I'm simply saying that this has happened before, hermes days, where certain people like to hold things back from the community. All it takes is to post a single link to the source.

Honestly mate, I wouldn't stress. It appears the 1.66 build has just been leaked today and I'm willing to bet that before you know it a stock rom will be available to all. You can't blame those that got hold of it first trying to integrate it quickly into their roms. Flashing has become quite the sport these days Have you tried asked any of the cooks using it, what their source is?

1.66 has been available since the 8th of Jan, and certain people have had it since then. Now I'm not naming names, I just find it pathetic they don't release it.
No I don't blame them for trying to get there first, but its not a race here people, its a community place where we're supposed to help the community.

Whilst I agree with some of the points there is no need for this thread, you should be greatful that what you get doesnt actually cost a cent and believe me if a chef was to live off donations they'd all be dead by now Show a little respect!

(and no, this is not yet the most bloody link... there are others, check the Chinese forum)

Well I understand the OP frustration but I usually just try to ignore it. There has been some of this going on in the recent past where someone gets a build and they share it only with about 4 certain other people with instructions not to share to anyone else. All the while these four or five people release ROM's with the new build while everyone else has to wait. I can't blame the guys it is given to as I'm sure they are glad to be getting it. The point is it makes it look really privatizing that the same 4-5 people always have the new stuff before others.
But as always it will surface before too long. But it may take a week as the others have not released their ROM with it yet.

Possible UK Realease Date for Android 2.1

http://www.knowyourmobile.com/blog/445947/android_21_dated_for_htc_hero.html
These guys are saying Orange & T-Mobile are rolling out 2.1 on the 16th April
I know it's unofficial but certainly coincides with Legend release dates.

Hilariously, they site the XDA Developers forum as their source.
THEY SITE THIS SITE AS THEIR SOURCE
That's Hilarious, When did XDA Forums become creditably supplies of information for the Hero 2.1 release schedule? How many missed dates have people gotten their hopes up for?
Ah well, My hopes are in a bucket in a ditch. I will not be raising them

Agreed, to be honest I think it's more likely to be early May before they release 2.1, almost tempted to sell the Hero and just buy an unlocked Legend when it's released.

Another site reporting that the 16th April is the date:

Heh I've given up on trying to educate people on correct spelling and grammar. Too many are of the attitude "well you know what I meant so it doesn't really matter".
My pet hates are of course your/you're and there/their/they're. It would probably take someone less than 5 minutes to get their head around given the correct definition yet incorrect use is rife on the Internet.

My pet hate is the use of the word "loose" when the correct word would be "lose".
For example: "I don't want to loose my settings".
Arghh!!!!

topic please?

OT
But it would be appropriate if you wished to loose your settings, like the hounds of hell, upon the unsuspecting public.
P.S. You could try the Villain 4.0 Beta 2. It seems pretty good and battery life is amazing at the moment for me. It is built from a Legend leak - but does chew up a lot of memory - I suspect that HTC engineers were liberal with memory use because the Legend has a bit more than our Heroes.

There are loads of threads with "possible" 2.1 release dates, and all of them are of less value than a discussion on grammar and spelling. It is especially true of this thread since it is only regurgitating a rumour that started on another thread in these very forums!
Personally, if I were a mod, I'd lock any thread with a purported 2.1 release date because they serve no purpose other than to get peoples dander up when the date inevitably passes with no update!

Ah more info, have no idea if this is any more reliable than anything else.

Just another rumour ...
Not user x and user y are spreading them, companys like engadget are spreading rumours and they have the aura to be close to the manufacturers but aren't ...
Why should HTC issue an official release date on plurk and nowhere else?
Let's just wait and see

Does anyone here even care ANYMORE? It will prolly be a downgrade
compared to what we have now anyway with a bunch of flaws
just like our 2.1's in the beginning. Look what the devs have made
for us and APPRECIATE it. Start a thread after you have compiled
AOSP or find someone who has....I THINK MORE THAN A FEW OF
US WOULD REALLY LOVE TO SEE THAT POST........this isnt
twitter, and most of here arent morons. So if YOU know it, you
can probably bet WE do too...FYI

Be warned.
People here do not like these rumors showing up on this forum.
They will have it removed.
I know. Happened to me.
Yet when the date was March 26th, no one had them removed.

This forum needs one of those setups where when you starting creating a thread the forum searches for keywords and gives you options of threads that have already been created before creating the thread. Ive seen it done before. They should implement something like that since no one likes to or knows how to use the search feature.

Can we please stop posting on speculated dates and wait until this *actually * comes to fruition?
Waste of time to even post on this.

you spin me right round baby right round, like a record baby right round right round.....

I was bored so I e-mailed them and told them people may believe it more if they used a picture of a "Sprint HTC Hero"

we got 2.1, the only good that can come of this is the brillant dev's here taking the crap sprint dishes out and making something truly awesome. Which is really hard to imagine since DC's current rom is pretty dam on the money, at least for me anyway.

I propose that the next person to post that link be banned.

Ya I would only care from one of these if it was an OFFICAL date from sprint. and then I would just blow it off anyway and continue using my Rom like nothing happened

Third freaking 10char

I think the post is accurate, it does say HTC Hero roll out April 16th FOR Europe though “Nordic/Greek/RUS/UKR/SA” regions. They say it will trickle down to Sprint which will most likely be April 30th which sounds pretty close.

I could've sworn this was a discussion forum about the development of the CDMA Hero. Weird.
I must be lost because these people don't want to know any of the news (which does often include rumors).
